Really.. great news .

Woohoo 🙌

USCIS employees were supposed to get furloughed end of August but seems like nothing happened in the last month. The i485 filing dates didn’t move an inch although they have been moving at a crazy pace before the furlough announcement!

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up.

She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
